Evaluation of Problem-Based Learning in College of Medicine: An Indicator of Quality Education in a Hybrid Curriculum

Background. A culture of quality is believed to drive institutes toward excellence through feedback. Multiple surveys at educational institute help to get a deeper insight into institutional performance and curricular execution. Since problem-based learning (PBL) is an important component of the hybrid curriculum, thus stakeholders’ opinion on PBL satisfaction is worth discussing. This study intended to determine the trends in students’ satisfaction with PBL over the years and to report on the importance of curricular changes that can be incorporated based on students’ needs. Methods. This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was conducted at the College of Medicine (COM), King Saud Bin Abdul Aziz University for Health Sciences (KSAU-HS), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. All male and female medical students, using consecutive sampling technique, were included in the study. End-of-course evaluation reports for the academic years ranging from 2013 to 2019 on PBL satisfaction, with a response rate of ≥60%, were included in this study. Results. Overall, students at the COM, Jeddah were satisfied with PBL. A declining but satisfactory trend followed by a sharp rise in satisfaction was observed in this study. Pearson correlation reported a positive relationship between PBL problems, tutors, and PBL sessions (r = 0.82, p < 0.001 ). Conclusions. Transition from three sessions to two sessions per PBL case can be considered as an effective and efficient way of curricular execution. We found that the tutor, the case, and session dynamics were positively correlated after the incorporation of the feedback. Thus, highlighting the facts that inculcating a culture of responding to feedback can lead to innovations in medical teaching and can help to improve the curricular execution and students’ satisfaction.

Randomized controlled trial comparing immediate loading with conventional loading using cone-anchored implant-supported screw-retained removable prostheses: A 2-year follow-up clinical trial

Statement of problemImplant-based prosthetic solutions can be time consuming. If implants can be loaded immediately, treatment time can be reduced. PurposeThe purpose of this prospective randomized controlled trial was to monitor the survival rate of Ankylos implants, comparing conventional with immediate loading by using abutments with the SynCone concept for screw-retained removable prostheses in the edentulous maxilla. Material and methodsA total of 90 implants were placed in 15 study participants. The participants were randomly assigned to the immediate or conventional loading treatment group. Radiographic and clinical parameters were recorded at the time of permanent prosthesis installment and at 1- and 2-year follow-up examinations, and participants’ satisfaction was measured by using questionnaires before and after prosthesis installation. A linear mixed model was used to measure differences. ResultsOne implant in the conventional group was lost during abutment placement; hence, 89 implants could be followed for 2 years. Approximately 90% of these implants showed no bone loss or even bone gain at 1 and 2 years follow-up. Mean values for the immediate group were, respectively, 0.09 ±0.35 mm and 0.13 ±0.38 mm and 0.01 ±0.41 mm and −0.06 ±0.32 mm for the conventional method. No significant differences (P=.053) were found in bone level alterations between the groups. For all participants, the mean number of surfaces (4 per implant) with bleeding on probing (BoP) and plaque were 0.76 ±0.81 and 0.16 ±0.42 at 1 year follow-up and 0.44 ±0.66 and 0.02 ±0.15, respectively, at the second-year follow-up. The mean pocket probing depths were 2.05 ±0.54 mm at 1 year and 2.18 ±0.64 mm at 2 years. For both groups, a significant rise in satisfaction and quality of life was observed (P≤.001) at 1 and 2 years compared with pretreatment. ConclusionsAnkylos implants placed in the edentulous maxilla, immediately or conventionally loaded by a detachable prosthesis, showed favorable bone-level preservation after 2 years of follow-up. No significant differences could be found between the immediate and conventional groups. A significant increase in quality of life was observed for both loading modes.

To Study the Rise in Satisfaction Level of People due to EGovernance Initiative by Government of Punjab-A Case Study of Excise and Taxation Department

Purpose –The main objective of doing this research is to study the rise in satisfaction level of people of Punjab due to E-governance initiatives of the government of Punjab. Design/methodology/approach – E-governance was introduced in the province with the help of various Information Systems. We identified various aspects of these e-systems affecting customer satisfaction like ease of use and efficiency. We made questionnaire to find out these factors and got information from customers via interviews and finally analyzed outcome to get results from the statistics analysis. Findings – Results indicated a strong relationship of customer satisfaction with the e-governance initiatives and this relationship indicated that by enhancement in ease of use and efficiency of these e-systems customer satisfaction will certainly rise. Research limitations – Only one department was selected as a case study in this research, however the results will be easy to encompass the provincial level initiatives, since all of the departments are getting same level of automation and information policy. Practical implications – Our research has exposed that effective deployment of information technology can improve customer satisfaction of people of Punjab. The strong positive relationship between various factors of customer satisfaction indicates that there is a possibility of rise in customer satisfaction with concentrated efforts. Originality/value – There has been no native research ever done on these e-systems to indicate their effectiveness, hence now it was time that decisions are made on basis of informed and organized research based statistics.

Changes in HRM and job satisfaction, 1998–2004: evidence from the Workplace Employment Relations Survey

This paper examines the relationship between human resource management practices and job satisfaction, drawing on data from the 1998 and 2004 Workplace Employment Relations Surveys. The paper finds significant increases in satisfaction with the sense of achievement from work between 1998 and 2004; a number of other measures of job quality are found to have increased over this period as well. It also finds a decline in the incidence of many formal human resource management practices. The paper reports a weak association between formal human resource management practices and satisfaction with sense of achievement. Improvements in perceptions of job security, the climate of employment relations and managerial responsiveness are the most important factors in explaining the rise in satisfaction with sense of achievement between 1998 and 2004. We infer that the rise in satisfaction with sense of achievement is due in large part to the existence of falling unemployment during the period under study, which has driven employers to make improvements in the quality of work.

Effects of Stressors on Parenting Attitudes and Family Functioning in a Primary Prevention Program

Effects of Stressors on Parenting Attitudes and Family Functioning in a Primary Prevention Program* Jennifer Peterson and Dale R. Hawley** The purpose of this study was to examine the relationships between social stressors and parental attitudes and family functioning. Data were collected from a non-random sample of 542 parents of newborns at local hospital systems. Significant relationships were found between number of stressors and more functional scores for each of the outcome variables. In addition, females had significantly higher scores than males for each parenting attitude variable. Small but significant relationships were also found between perceptions of economic well-being and social support and each of the parenting and family functioning variables. Implications of the findings for primary prevention programming are discussed. Although it is generally considered a joyfully anticipated event, the birth of a child represents a highly stressful occurrence in the lives of many families. Adjustments related to issues such as family roles, time management, sexuality, financial obligations, and the physical demands of children make the addition of a child an especially challenging transition in a family's career. It is conceivable that stressors brought on by the addition of children could contribute to negative outcomes in parenting and family functioning. One indicator of the stressful conditions associated with parenting is the consistent finding that supports a decline in marital satisfaction after the arrival of children followed by a rise in satisfaction as children begin to leave the nest (Anderson, Russell, & Schumm 1983; Rollins & Feldman, 1970). Cowan and Cowan (1988) note that this drop in satisfaction is not large, though it is significant. However, they also report that new parents increased in their levels of conflict following the birth of their child when compared to a sample of childless couples. Moreover, while the addition of subsequent children may not represent as substantial a change for a family as the arrival of the first child, it does present the possibility of new stressors. Additional financial obligations, sibling rivalry, and increased caregiving demands are a few of the challenges a family faces with the advent of another child. With its new demands, the family's resources may be strained and the family is vulnerable to conflict and overload. The intent here is not to paint an anticipated event for most couples as gloom and doom; rather, it is to acknowledge the potential for increased levels of stress which can present an obstacle to effective parenting and family functioning. This study focuses on the relationship of stressors with family functioning and parenting attitudes using a sample of parents of newborn children participating in a primary prevention program. Family Functioning and Stressors The family stress literature has consistently pointed toward a relationship between the number of stressors experienced by families and their level of functioning. Beginning with the Double ABCX model of family stress (McCubbin & Patterson, 1983) and more recently in his Family Resiliency model (McCubbin & McCubbin, 1993), McCubbin has described the pile-up of stressors as a significant variable which influences how families adapts to stress. Extending Hill's (1958) original ABCX model which posited that family stress levels are an interaction of the stressor event, resources, and perceptions of the event, McCubbin and colleagues have indicated that the pile-up effect of developmental transitions, unresolved previous stressors, and consequences of coping efforts creates a context that exacerbates the impact of a given stressor. A number of studies support this notion. For example, links between accumulated stressors and decreased family functioning have been found for mothers of disabled children (Reddon, McDonald, & Kysela, 1992), families with adolescents leaving home (Anderson, 1990), military wives (Knapp & Newman, 1993), and divorcing men (Plummer & Koch-Hattem, 1986). …
